Redescription and synonymy of Stenaelurillus arambagensis (Biswas et Biswas, 1992) comb.n. (Araneae: Salticidae)

New chrysilline and aelurilline jumping spiders from Pakistan (Araneae, Salticidae)

“…This accompanies the ongoing work in neighbouring India (Caleb 2016, 2017; Caleb and Mathai 2015, 2017; Caleb et al 2015, 2017a, 2017b; Chatterjee et al 2017; Kananbala et al 2014; Prajapati et al 2016; Sanap et al 2017; Sebastian et al 2015; Vidhel et al 2015) in building our knowledge of South Asian salticids.…”

“…Stenaelurillus , recently reviewed by Logunov and Azarkina (2018), are ground-dwelling spiders, notable for the highly ornamented males of some species (Caleb and Sanap 2016). Most of its 45 known species are African (World Spider Catalog 2018; Wesołowska 2014b; Logunov and Azarkina 2018), but there is a centre of diversity in south Asia (see figure 507 of Logunov and Azarkina 2018), with 8 species in India (Caleb et al 2015; Caleb et al 2017b; Caleb and Mathai 2016; Logunov and Azarkina 2018; Prajapati et al 2016; Sebastian et al 2015; Vidhel et al 2015; Wesołowska 2014a), one from Iran (Logunov 2001), and one from Pakistan (Logunov and Azarkina 2018). We here describe a second species from Pakistan.…”

Taxonomic notes on two jumping spider species of the genus Epocilla Thorell, 1887 (Araneae: Salticidae: Chrysillini) from India and Pakistan

“…All Indian species of Marpissa C.L. Koch, 1846 are misplaced, with some of them having been recently re-examined and their taxonomic status revised [Caleb et al, 2017[Caleb et al, , 2019[Caleb et al, , 2020. While identifying samples from India and Pakistan, we have compared our specimens with the descriptions and illustrations of Salticidae by Dyal [1935] and found out that the description of Thiania aura Dyal, 1935 matches perfectly that of Marpissa tigrina Tikader, 1965. In the present paper, we aim (1) to provide a taxonomic note on Marpissa kalapani Tikader 1977, (2) to redescribe Thiania aura Dyal, 1935 based on newly collected specimens from several localities in India ABSTRACT.…”
